History
Bieber station was opened as a station of the Rodgau Railway on 30 October 1896. The Rodgau Railway has been operated since 2003 as part of S-Bahn line S1 of the Rhine-Main S-Bahn, but only as far as Rödermark-Ober-Roden. Services between Rödermark-Ober-Roden and Dieburg are operated as an extension of services on the Dreieich Railway, which was opened in 1905. The track between Dieburg and Reinheim has been dismantled.On 1 December 1898, the Offenbach-Bieber-Dietzenbach railway was opened as a branch line of the Rodgau Railway. On 18 June 1982, passenger services on the line were discontinued. In the 2003/2004 timetable, starting on 14 December 2003, passenger services were re-established with the commencement of S-Bahn services of line S2 on the route between Niedernhausen and Dietzenbach.
In the course of the upgrade for the S-Bahn, changes were made to the tracks at the station as the lines were duplicated and electrified. The station was rebuilt to provide barrier-free access for the disabled. The level crossing on Dietesheimer Straße was removed and replaced by an underpass.
